  • Primary Care Priorities in East Lothian
    REPORT TO: East Lothian Integration Joint Board MEETING DATE: 30 March 2017 BY: Chief Officer SUBJECT: Primary Care Priorities in East Lothian 1 PURPOSE 1.1 To inform the Integration Joint Board of the intended focus of work in 2017-18 to support, stabilise and develop General Practitioner (GP) primary care services across East Lothian. This follows on from a range of actions taken during 2016-17 to support GPs and their teams. 2 RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 The IJB is asked to note that general practitioner managed services across East Lothian remain under pressure as the result of a number of local and national factors. 2.3 The IJB is asked to approve plans to focus primary care development input and available funding on the following priority areas, all of which are described in more detail in section 3.0: • Musselburgh Primary Care Access Service • East Lothian Care Home Team • Primary care nurse training • Practice-based pharmacists • LEGup support for list size growth • Provision of IT hardware • Future planning for a new practice in Blindwells • Diabetes LES. 3 BACKGROUND Issues Affecting Primary Care Services 3.1 Responsibility for primary care is shared between the NHS Board and the IJBs. The NHS Board has a duty to ensure that its population receives general medical services and can register with a General Practice. The NHS Board through the Primary Care Contracts Organisation (PCCO) also holds contracts with practices and is responsible for delivery of services through the HSCPs and the PCCO, with IJBs responsible for the strategic planning and direction of primary care in their areas.
